I don't even have a collet closer & I still enjoyed watching your video. Thanks!

I’m always amazed how you come up with such a simple fix that all the rest of us overlook. Best to you Joe and thanks for the information.

I watch videos like this everyday, and learn something every day. My step son also watches KZfaq every day but he watches people light farts and eat Tide pods. Strange how different two sides of the same coin can be.

I never fail to learn something from your video's thank you!

I prefer Patreon over merch because the overhead is so much lower; I need another mug like I need a hole in the head but a couple bucks a month to support your filmmaking sounds fine with me.

could've sworn you would've replace it or something but all you had to do was loosen the 3 bolts and check for ID OOR. that's awesome.

You do nice work Joe. Thanks

Thank you for all your videos

Thanks Joe! Worked like a charm.

Thanks for another great tip. I'll support the channel.

Thanks for the video Joe.

Happy New Year! Will continue watching! Many videos help me a lot in daily work!

I really enjoy your channel and learn so much here. I'd happily purchase a t-shirt to support you and your content creation!

Awesome. Thanks For sharing your time and talent.

Thx Joe. Never thought about back end alignment!

Happy New Year, nice to see you back ! Even if I don't have a noisy closer ;-) Have a healthy and successful year, Joe!

Great topic! My Harrison lathe manual has a section on this procedure.

workshop tour joe :) it's obvious you have a really well organised shop, i think that would be of interest to many.

Slick fix Joe. Nothing more satisfying than a quiet well running piece of equipment. Happy New Year.. Fred Ontario, NY

great diagnosis and repair ,thanks for the video,,

Thanks for the video, going to try and tune mine up - driving me crazy for several years.

Hey Joe, most definitely a shirt or two! Great fix, as always. I've had to do this in the past, but did not figure it out as quick as the video. Thanks, Chuck

Excellence shines from your attention to details.

Thanks joe, I have older yuasa engine lathe with a royal 5c closer, has always rattled, tried your method and now it’s perfect,, thanks again

Attention to detail is what makes the difference between an expert and a hack.👍👍👍

Like your work Joe; like you ability and methods you use to pass on knowledge. All the best in 2019. I think shirts are a good item for USA residents. I do learn a lot from you and love the technical and mathematics aspects. Mal in Australia.

Sweet, Joe! This is amazingly timely for me. I have a collet closer I'd bought for my lathe and never mounted yet. In shops, closers were always pre-mounted by the time I used them, so I was unaware there may be an issue. Nice to be able to head it off at the pass!

God bless and happy new year Joe..

Thanks for this Joe, I had to make the ratchet part for mine and have been fighting vibration ever since without really knowing what the issue was. I assumed it was runout on the end, not the OD! Going to give this a try tonight.

Happy new year Joe :)

nice fix, I have a manual closer and I machined a delrin sleeve to make the tube fit snug and concentric

Thanks Joe Happy New Year's great content to start the New Year out with, and some Joe Pie A.I. swag would be👍

Excellent tip Joe. I inherited a Nardini Lathe from another department and the closer rattled like a screen door in a tornado. I did the same thing and it made a world of difference. The only problem is any time I have to open the door to access the drive belts, change gears, etc., I have to remove the geared collar and indicate it in again. I made a plug and installed it on the end of a piece of all thread (the spindle ID is larger than the collar ID). I can feed it in from the chuck end and use that to align the geared collar and the spindle. It gets me close enough to eliminate the rattle.

thanks for inspiring me to take care of this problem , I have been ignoring it for 2 years

Handy tips thanks

lovely video, thank you!

I found one of those cogged 'gears' on the end of my now restored 12" Atlas Commercial lathe. Some folks online told me what that part was for, but I never really understood until now. Unfortunately, I don't have any of the other parts for it. Looks like a useful attachment.

I really appreciate your advice and informative videos Joe. I would definitely buy a shirt or two, preferably black. Black goes with everything and it's hard to tell if you get a stain on them.

Your closer is the same as a Clausing and sim. to Hardinge. Good job, I have done this to all 4 of mine, makes a great diff.

I would be interested in either a sew on patch or a cap. I have so many t shirts it is ridiculous. Thanks for another great video and best wishes to you and your family for 2019.

Great work Joe! I enjoy your video’s, which are always informative. By the way, I would be interested in one of your T-shirts to add to my collection of 200 plus, which is constantly growing.

thanks for posting this...i have a takisawa with a very similar closing mechanism, and my bouncing handle is borderline dangerous.

I'd rather buy something I can use in the shop. I've got a set of Randy's dovetail cutters, my genuine Fenner t-slot cleaner, etc. I understand you're not looking to increase your workload, but i've already got enough shirts, mugs, and assorted promotional doodads to last a lifetime (at least the rest of mine, anyway). How about some Moore style edge/corner finders with your logo? Sell me something I can use! 😀

You do such a great job and share so many brilliant ideas, a huge Thank You for that. I feel like You deserve at least 500k subs. And I wish You that for this year. Ps. Do You send t-shirts worldwide?

T-shirts would be a great idea!

+1 for Patreon, I need to pay you back for all the time you have save me at work!

I would take either!

Great video as always! Thanks for sharing, I would buy a t-shirt!.

Another well done video Joe!....I have been wondering why, at my advanced age, that I crave knowledge like a pregnant woman craves ice cream, .....then I read what Einstein said: " Live like you are going to die tomorrow, learn like you are going to live forever, and never stop questioning."

One thing I noticed in this video is how you had the dial indicator attached to the clamp. I never thought about a dovetail being there to mount the indicator. I will have to see if mine has that.

Well there you go, didn’t know you could adjust that, I worked and a electrical component manufacturer. Had a little lathe I ran. I actually got fast enough with it that I got into trouble with the union day shift boss and got an red ink write up for stressing out the day shift union workers (night shift, my shift was non-union workers)

Thanks again for the great content. Ii would be in for a shirt or two, only problem the shipping would probably cost more than the shirts... and there is a good chance they will go missing in the mail..

You should do a video on knee-mill repair/maintenance and backlash adjustments.

I'd like to buy a shirt. I've learned a lot from watching your videos. Thanks!

T's are good!!!

I have the same closer, it's a Royal, even after 30 years my collets still run true to a couple of tenths. I just checked mine and it's quiet, I think I dialed it in when I got it but I don't remember.

Was hoping to use to get for the closer on my Tormach lathe. Sadly I've already done this. The manual says to get it within 0.001". No matter what I do the wobble stays. Occasionally it'll be fine. Might have something to do with the closer unit itself. I've resorted to unscrewing the handle instead. Keeps the noise down anyways

Thoughts on locktite on those screws to prevent further loosening?

I'm your neighbor from up the road that met you at the Good of the Land Fest. Would definitely pick up a t-shirt to represent your company and channel. You might check in to Bunker Branding...it is a content creator specific company started by the Demolition Ranch/Off The Ranch guy and his wife to support merchandising for KZfaq creators. Not sure how the cost compares to Teespring, but worth checking in to.

always need a teeshirt joe

I would like a t-shirt from both the diving and machining side.

I'd buy a shirt... I've gleaned a lot of info from you.

They run even better if the face of the spindle extension runs true also. I filed and stoned that face to .0002 run out and indicated the "ratchet" plate I.D. to .0002. You could stand a penny, on edge, on the end of the quick change lever at 2500 RPMs.

Re. "T" shirts. Possibly including the spider?

Q: When time is found, I would like an explanation about how lathe tools works. Using an insert desigened to go towards the headstock, what would hapend when cutting ”the wrong way”? It’s with great intrest I watch Your videos! Regards PeO

I'd be in for a t-shirt.

Would love the machine shop Tees. Black

I'd go for a A.I. shirt Joe

I've been trying to figure out how to do this on a hardinge for a few years now and this technique unfortunately won't work because that catch gear floats freely. I'm thinking where it gets oh is where the arm assembly clamps down to the large bearing but I have monkey with it and it's still not quite right it can get to vibrating like hell if you have any tips on the hardinge style closer I would greatly appreciate everything

T-shirts, yes! Especially if they say, "I NEED A HUGe amount of money to support my machining hobby!" and include your logo

Yes please (Rotary table work)

T shirts. Yes.

The timing for this video couldn’t be better as I just bought a royal collet closer off eBay and have your same lathe. Is the lever hinge mounted to the fiberglass end cap only or is their additional support that I can’t see? I would like to support your channel but can’t support patreon. Abom had this problem and set up a paypal account for those who don’t support patreon. Could you consider this-thank you again for your great videos!

I would buy a pocket t or 3

I would get a shirt.......make it cool though!

Hey joe, I’d buy a T-shirt

Lathe envy!

My vote for a T-shirt is yes

Better than a t-shirt is coffee mugs!

Sure, make some cool shirts. even though I like the dive shirts. I've been a diver for many years myself.

I’m in for a shirt.

I'd take a shirt or two

T shirts or stickers

Go for the shirts.".................

Hobbyists beware. Watching too many Joe P and other cool content producers may induce mild to severe case of CID (cast iron deficiency). I know I got it. The symptoms may include but not limited to: · Rearranging the back yard and flying 4,000 pound pecan trees over the house so 3,000 pound machines can roll to the shop · Tearing down sheds and making I Beam structure additions with reinforced concrete floors · Selling the whole machine collection and starting a new collection with bigger machines · Being rewarded for the whole crazy adventure with finding amazing treasure troves · Running into problems with the new machines that are actually covered in Joe’s videos I’ve found too many cool, new condition toys to list but the major finds are: 1974 Bridgeport that looks unused 1971 Harrison 13X40 L6 MK III with a GE hour meter. Manual calls for 80 hours of break in, hour meter shows 78 Cincinnati Monoset clone, Denver Astro made in Taiwan circa early 90’s Brown & Sharpe No 2 surface grinder with WWII Picatinny Arsenal tag U.S.P 2401 The grinders are project machines. They were so dirty; I couldn’t tell what color the B&S was. They have cleaned up beautifully. The B&S has its original paint and all the ways still have the original flaking. Here is a sample album of the adventure: photos.app.goo.gl/JzE77Pb17kKyeGBG9 As you can see, the lathe was stuffed in its final resting place with the OEM Royal collet closer in the spindle. I can’t use the chucks, but I can mark where the wall needs a hole so the draw tube can be installed and removed without moving the lathe. A couple of days before this video, I ran the machine and had the problem Joe is describing. Coming from a South Bend and having no real experience, my first guess was a bent tube. Middle of the night worrying gave me the idea to check the runout on the spindle attachment. It was way out. Having no patience, I indicated it within a couple of thou over the notches and with the tube in the spindle. The shake went away. The next day I saw this video. At least when I pull the lathe out to cut the hole and add more shelves, the job of indicating it will be a lot easier with the draw tube out and using the ID. Thanks Joe for all the amazing cool knowledge you are so freely willing to share. I don’t care if you make underwear with holes in it, I would proudly buy it and wear it. Shawn, Phoenix

put me down for a shirt or two...

I'm surprised with your timing of setting up a Patreon account. I love your content, but I value free speech even more.

Thomas "Woody" Woodrow, W-MACHINE I watch your site regularly and get and use many of your great tips and tricks. I also share some of them with friends. In my opinion yours is one of the best presented, most informative, channels on KZfaq. As for this one, please, if the followers of your channel with this problem haven't diagnosed the fix for this on their own they won't be able to understand much of anything you show and talk about on your site. Give me (us) a break.
